Well now I would say that's too far to the opposite extreme. If you were disappointed by an LS1, it must have been sick (i.e. ill) because I had an LT1 (3, actually) that was quite a bit quicker than stock, and my first drive in an LS1 was the difference between night and day. All things being equal, the LT1 rocks. The LS1 rocks harder.
